Summary
Ireland’s high streets are thriving as shoppers still prefer the in-person experience over online shopping, thanks to a cultural love for browsing, socializing, and grabbing coffee—despite economic pressures. Holland & Barrett, with 70 stores and 500 employees, is expanding into Galway, betting on Ireland’s retail habits. While shoplifting remains a challenge, the demand for health and wellness products—especially among younger, active consumers—is surging, driving stores to blend digital info with trusted in-person advice.
